Show Notes

This week, we were joined by author Phuc Luu for a discussion on his book, Jesus of the East: Reclaiming the Gospel for the Wounded. Listen in on the discussion here! 

Much of Western Christianity has subdued the narrative of Jesus as a Palestinian Jewish healer and liberator who served the sick and oppressed. But the Jesus of the Gospels is a revolutionary who stands with the sinned against, the wounded, and the marginalized. In Jesus of the East, author Phuc Luu re-narrates the life of Jesus to show how he made it his work to topple systems that privileged the few and disregarded the many, especially the poor and lowest. For those living in the land between pain and hope, Luu's prophetic words will renew our imaginations and draw us closer to the heart of God.
